RIP Cruyff
you, I thought something happened to Alphanel.
RIP Johan
It's curious that of the 5 GOATs of football, 3.5 played for Barcelona (the .5 being Di Stefano who was robbed by RM)
Great player, the best player of the Dutch total football. Reaching the '74 mundial finals. Too bad Holland didn't have him for the '78 finals, but he was protesting for the lack of human rights in Argentina under the junta.
Great coach, too. Leading the Barça "dream team", to several la ligas and first championship trophy. Then helping re-organize the Barça academy, which is today the best in the world.
RIP Johan Cryuff.
That's a myth
Their was a kidnapping attempt on Cruyff and his family in Barcelona before the WC; he wasn't mentally ready to go to the WC
True, admitted by Cruyff himself.
One of the greatest of all time. He was great with Ajax.
Top 5 player all time, tbh.
Probably the main responsible for the way football is played today.
Who would the "main", iyho?
If you were referring to "Total Football", then we should be looking at Rinus Michaels
But Cryuff made it happen as a footballer and brought it to Barcelona which, let's face it (even though you are a Real fan), it's the blueprint for modern football. Everybody tries to copy aspects of this team.
By the way, remember when Cruyff sais they were gonna beat Milan in the CL Final - Milan was missing Van Basten and Baresi ?
Then Milan won 4-0
Butthurt RMAO fan can't accept simple facts.
Did Bayern play the Barca way when they won the CL?
Did Real play the Barca way when they won the CL?
Did Atleti play the Barca way when they w.... almost won the CL?
No
Yep. All those teama took aspects of barca's style. Or, if you prefer, total football style.
